Chapter 940 (1/2)

Select other engineering units?

This gentle refusal is really bitter.

Although it did not appear on his face, the Chinese and Russian representatives agreed to breathe a sigh of relief. What they are most worried about is that the star ring trade can not withstand the pressure and help the United States or its younger brother build a second space elevator. They don't mind if a small, neutral country owns a space elevator, but it's absolutely hard for them to accept the ownership of their competitors.

The best solution is that the new country has the sovereignty of the space elevator, and all countries share the outer space cake with it.

The rejected president of Ecuador did not look good, but did not say anything, nodded slightly and then sat back. NASA director Bolton looked as usual, and he had expected that Jiang Chenhui would refuse. After all, the monopoly market will always make more money than the competitive market.

At least until there is a second company that has mastered the construction technology of space elevator, it is almost impossible for star ring trade to accept foreign orders for space elevator construction.

The topic continues, and the next discussion is very simple and clear, about how countries cooperate in the space elevator project.

John Werner, the director of ESA, stood up, glanced at the delegates in the circle and offered.

”There is no boundary in space, and all people should contribute their own strength to the collective mankind. Although the space elevator is built by star ring trade, outer space belongs to the collective ownership of mankind, and the space elevator should also be shared by all mankind... ”

When John said this, the expression on Jiang Chen's face had turned into a sneer.

You know with your feet what he's going to say next.

“…… Therefore, here, I propose, ”instead of looking at Jiang Chen, John Werner looked up at the representatives of the French and German space agencies, and then said his proposal without blushing.” the cost of space elevators should be assessed by the United Nations foreign space agency, and the cost of building space elevators should be paid by all countries to star ring trade, and purchased in the name of the United Nations The space elevator is jointly managed by the international community. ”

At the end of John Werner's speech, a round of applause broke out in the meeting hall of the summit. Subsequently, representatives from European countries rose to speak one after another, expressing their support for the proposal of the director of ESA.

”Seconded by the representative of France.”

”Seconded by the representative of Germany.”

”Seconded by the representative of Italy.”

”Holland...”

There was a slight smile on the corner of Werner's mouth when he heard the secondment. Long before the summit, they agreed to put pressure on the star ring trade. With so many countries seconding the same proposal at the summit, even if Starlink wants to reject it, it has to weigh the diplomatic risks brought about by rejection.

On behalf of the United States, Bolden did not make a statement, but he cast his playful eyes on Jiang Chen.

So many countries support it. How can you get off this stage?

All of a sudden, at this moment, a strange voice sounded from the summit.

”Representative of China, against it.”

Everyone, including the director general of ESA and Bolden, was stunned and looked at the seats belonging to China in the summit.

”The space elevator is built within the inherent territorial waters of the new country and should be owned by the new country. China's position is consistent. We oppose any country's interference in the internal affairs of a third country in any form. ” With that, the upright middle-aged black haired man glanced at the seats of representatives of European countries and said, ”China recognizes the legitimacy of the new country's space elevator and is willing to cooperate with the new country on the basis of respecting its territorial owners, rights and constitution.”

It was quiet in the summit, and no one answered.

Jiang Chen opened his mouth and was about to say something. At this time, the Russian representative stood up, helped the microphone and said in a concise and comprehensive way.

”The Russian side then said,” on behalf of the Russian side of the speech, on behalf of the men. ”

Two of them have already acknowledged the legitimacy of Singapore's space elevator. No matter how many voices of opposition, this fact cannot be changed. Jiang Chen nodded slightly to the representatives of China and Russia and expressed his thanks.
